Then our evening meal extravaganza began:
Antipasto
Whole clove garlic bread, parmesano reggiano and blue cheese-stuffed olives.
Primo
Escarole and white bean soup
Entree
Classic Italian Lasagna and Italian baby greens with granny smith apples, toasted walnuts and a shallot vinagrette. (The guest of honor with special guest, Meme.)
Dessert
Brown sugar glazed pears and blueberries with vanilla ice cream.
Sarah is going to freeze the rest of the lasagna so that everyone can try it in a couple weeks. Wish that we weren't missing everyone else, but we'll be waiting for pictures from the celebration part 2!
Sounds like a wonderful day! Boy, those pears sure look good--my kind of dessert! We'll miss seeing you guys in HS, but I'm really glad you were there for Mom's birthday.
ReplyDeleteYay to celebrating Sarah! (Celebrating Sarah sounds like a movie title). I'm secretly hoping I'll be with Emily on my birthday so I can have a fabulous Emily birthday dinner. This reputation you're building is going to get you in trouble. :()
ReplyDeleteOh, that was me, not Matthew.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Sarah!!!!
ReplyDeleteEmily, you certainly did not disappoint with your gourmet meal. And it photographed so beautifully as well! I can't wait to taste the lasagne and get to celebrate Sarah in person! Happy Birthday, Sweet Sarah!
